client script and ajax call

[amit98971223]

HI,

Im trying to get display value of a reference field. I know of the method g_form.getDisplayBox(), but I am trying to do it from ajax call.

I am only able to get the sys id of the reference field.

I tried the following but no luck.

Client side:

ga.addParam('sysparm_field_sysID',g_form.getValue('reference_field'));

script include:

var val1=this.getParameter('sysparm_field_sysID'); ans=val1.getDisplayValue() ;

How can I use getDisplayValue() in a script include or I cannot, please help me?

regards

AMit

You'll need to create an object of AbstractAjaxProcessor in a class within the Script Include, and a GlideAjax object within your client script.

We cover this on our Scripting Course - have you attended that at all?

Hi Dave,
I probably haven't attended it, that is why the confusion..
I will surely read it

Hi Amit,

Please check the script below.

client script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {

  if (isLoading) {

  return;

  }

  var test= g_form.getValue('enter your reference field');

  var check = new GlideAjax('your script include name');

  check.addParam('sysparm_name', 'script include function name');

  check.addParam('sysparm_comp', test);

  check.getXML(analyzeResponse);

  function analyzeResponse(response)

  {

  var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");

  alert(answer);

}

script include:

name: test

Must be checked as client callable

var test= Class.create();

auto_fill_lochypcomp.prototype = Object.extendsObject(AbstractAjaxProcessor, {

  test: function()

  {

  var test= this.getParameter('sysparm_comp');

  var grp = new GlideRecord('sys_user');

grp.addQuery('name',test);

  grp.query();

  while(grp.next())

  {

//now you can perform your query here.

  }

      },

  type: 'test'

});

I hope it will help you.

Thanks,
